Ranking Proposer <br />1 Transloc/Ecolane <br />2 Connexionz/CTS <br />3 Engie/RideCo <br />The RFP Review Committee scored Transloc/Ecolane the highest based on its combination of <br />software capability, and value. In particular, it will provide an enhanced customer experience <br />allowing Community Coach clients the option to self -schedule trips and a smartphone app for <br />GoLine passengers to use for trip planning. <br />Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 grant funds .will be used to pay for the <br />technology update. The five-year cost for the system is $679,389 (or an average cost of <br />$135,878). Those costs include initial hardware/software setup costs (which are considered <br />capital expenses) as well as annual maintenance fees (which are considered operating expenses). <br />Because SRA receives the funds necessary for this purchase via the County as a pass-through <br />agency, SRA has requested approval of the ranking and ultimate purchase. <br />FUNDING <br />Grant funds from the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section 5307 program will be used <br />to pay for the technology update. Through the Section 5307 program, FTA covers 100% of all <br />capital expenses and 50% of all operating expenses. Sufficient funds are available in the County's <br />existing Section 5307 grants to cover the expenses associated with the technology update. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the committee's final rankings and concur with SRA's <br />selection of Transloc/Ecolane to provide the system. <br />73 <br />
